Behring’s Industry Leadership Shaped the RIA Era of EB-5

From Litigation to Leadership: How Behring Shaped the RIA

Behring Regional Center didn’t just adapt to the new EB-5 regulations—it fought to define them. Long before the September 30, 2026, Grandfathering Deadline, Behring took decisive legal action that fundamentally secured the rights of modern investors that we celebrate today.

• Challenging the Modernization Rule: Behring led the charge in challenging the 2019 Modernization Rule, successfully vacating a rule that would have prematurely increased investment amounts without proper oversight.

• The Settlement that Secured the RIA: Following the passage of the RIA, Behring engaged in critical litigation to ensure the Immigrant Investor Program Office (IPO) interpreted Regional Center adjudications.

• Enforcing IPO Interpretation: By binding a settlement that forced USCIS to recognize pre-RIA regional centers as immediately authorized, Behring cleared the path for the concurrent filing and priority processing benefits that investors enjoy today.
